House System
The Smart
House system provides a cost effective alternative to traditional wiring;
it allows many features for improved comfort, security and has energy
saving benefits for all domestic and light commercial building. |
|
| Temperature
control
Smart
House can provide temperature control for individual rooms. This minimises
fuel consumption as areas that are not in use or are heated by external
influences (e.g. solar or lots of people in room), are not over heated.
Two levels of temperatures can be set in each individual room depending
on whether the room is occupied. This feature means that the room can
be brought back to a comfortable temperature within a short time after
a period of un-occupancy. Temperatures can be regulated accurately. The
system uses PID loop control normally only found in industrial applications
unlike the common ‘on / off’ control which allows a fluctuation
of up to two degrees in room temperature which may reduce comfort levels
and waste energy. The system can be used with The Multizoner wiring centre
as shown in the display. |
| Lighting
control
The Smart House
system can manage lighting to reduce energy consumption to a minimum.
Lights can be switched on and off automatically using motion sensors or
timer functions in addition to the light switch on the wall. Lights can
be dimmed to optimised light level or balanced with natural light to provide
a constant level. All types of light can be dimmed (fluorescent tubes,
tungsten & LED). Lighting scenes can be preset to create moods for
different uses in the same way all the lights can be switched off at the
same time from a single point. |
Security
A comprehensive
intruder alert and deterrent function can be implemented. Window switches
can be monitored to check if access points are secure, motion detectors
can sound an alarm or send a text, and lighting can be controlled to simulate
occupation. |
Remote
Access
The system
can send and receive text messages so people can be alerted if an event
occurs (intruder alert, smoke alarm, activated water leak, etc.). Remote
control can be achieved by sending a text to switch something on or off
from your mobile phone (activate alarm system, switch on security lights,
activated heating etc.). There is a wide range of control units and accessories
with the Smart House system. |
